About Swallow Barn Farm Camping

Chosen this site as close to Cheddar Gorge at a reasonable price. There are sites closer to Cheddar but were charging extortionate prices. This was a nice field, lovely views and plenty of space. Owners leave you to it to enjoy your time there. Close to a pub and a petrol station/shop.

This large field is all you need for pitching your tent. Fairly level field, a sink with cold water tap and a portaloo on site. Lovely view over the Bristol channel.
Nice, relaxed, basic site

If you are after a basic, open plan site with great views, and are happy with just 2 portaloos and a sink, then this is highly recommended. Great pub a short walk away too. Dog friendly with good walks straight from the site. We will be back next year.
